Secrets in Bar Harbor
2021
A widow turns to her sisters for comfort – only to discover, after all these years, she might not be blood-related at all.
Heather Harvey Talbot is the youngest of the three Harvey sisters. For years, she was a sensitive yet lively woman and an eternally devoted wife. She worked as a children's fantasy writer and poured her life and love into her relationships with her husband, Max, and her twin daughters, Kristine and Bella.
But all that changes when Max, an oceanographer, disappears off the coastline, never to be seen again.
Grief is an understatement. Heather’s depression is insurmountable.
With her daughters both away at college, Heather retreats to Bar Harbor, where one of her sisters has taken up operation of the Acadia Eatery, which is attached to their inherited Keating Inn.
But almost immediately after her arrival, Heather discovers old letters that indicate that Jane, the woman she thought was her mother, was never her mother at all. There’s nobody else around to ask – her father and "mother" died years ago.
In the wake of her torrential grief, Heather now finds herself sliced off from the sisters she once so loved, facing trauma she hadn’t known existed.
Will she discover the truth? And what will become of her relationship to the women she always called “sisters” if it’s true she doesn’t really belong?

Deception in Bar Harbor
2021
Nicole Harvey faces the trauma of her past abusive marriage and learns that the only thing holding her back from having the life she really wants—is herself.
Manipulative. Cruel. Egotistical. Nicole's long-time husband, Michael Baxter, was a lot of things—but Nicole stayed by him, loving him and raising their children, for as long as she could, even as her self-worth whittled down to nothing.
When he left her for a younger woman and abandoned her and her children, she had nothing left. She was forced to move in with her older sister, Casey, without hope to rebuild. For years, she worked in marketing; but even that job dried up.
Nicole now finds herself with a single shot at a different life—to go to Bar Harbor and help her Uncle Joe with the Keating Inn and Acadia Eatery. It's her last link to a long-deceased father she never knew—and her last chance at reaching her long-lost goal of being a chef.
But secrets are discovered and deception awaits her and her sisters in Bar Harbor. Nicole finds herself caught in a web of lies, struggling to keep her late father and uncle's business afloat.

Christmas in Bar Harbor
2021
The Harvey Sisters celebrate their first Christmas in Bar Harbor. Love, joy, and companionship await after a year of heartache and mystery—and the eldest sister, Casey Harvey Griffin, is unprepared for what the holiday has in store for her.
Casey has always been the hot-headed sister—the passionate one, the go-getter, the one who took the lead when everything else fell apart. She was there when Nicole's life exploded and there when Heather lost everything. She's always been there to carry the weight of other people's problems. Her own problems? She's shoved those under the carpet, saying, as always, "Everything is fine." It's always been her way.
In truth, Casey's marriage has disintegrated year-after-year, as Grant took projects further and further away from his family and abandoned what they built. Casey's career took a hiatus when her hot-headedness caused a horrible fight at her architecture firm in Portland. For a long time, she had absolutely nothing except her sisters—and then, as quick as a snap of the fingers, both of her sisters abandoned her for Bar Harbor, a place they always swore they'd never return to.
Now, she's been in Bar Harbor for months, pretending her marriage isn't falling apart, finding new happiness and new hope in a place her mother, Jane, left behind long ago.
Christmas has a number of mysteries up it sleeves. Casey never imagined life had any twists or turns left for her. But with enough creativity, love, and the support of family—Casey might just have the Christmas of her dreams.

A Chicago jazz pianist on the brink of enormous change. A Bar Harbor Sous Chef who risks it all for love. And one fateful night over forty years ago that united them forever.
Angela Montague celebrates New Year's Eve as she always has: performing in the jazz ensemble that she started with her husband, Felix, twenty years ago. An hour into the new year, she learns the devastating truth of her husband's affair with another member of the jazz group. In one fell swoop, she loses her husband and her music career. And it's only January 1st.
Two other factors make an already messy year much worse. First, her twenty-year-old daughter, Hannah, has refused to speak to Angie in six months. And secondly, old documents in her deceased father's office indicate that the childhood she spent in Cincinnati wasn't all it seemed to be.
Secrets sizzle through Angie's past, forcing her to face the shattered wreckage of her and her daughter's relationship, develop self-respect, and eventually, dig into the truth—a truth that inevitably takes her and her daughter cross-country, to the rocky coastline of Bar Harbor, Maine.
In Bar Harbor, Luke Ewing has fallen head-over-heels for the youngest Harvey Sister, Heather Harvey Talbot. But Heather's been through a minefield of emotional duress and is resistant to the power of his love. When Luke thinks all is lost, he takes a risk that very well could unite them forever—if they're both brave enough to accept this new chapter.
